Lithium‐ion battery models often neglect the salt concentration polarization inside the electrolyte‐filled pores of the composite electrodes. However, this concentration polarization causes a significant impedance, in particular in the case of electrolytes with low Li + transference numbers. Here, we analyze in detail measured and calculated impedance spectra of composite electrodes containing a solvate ionic liquid‐based electrolyte and an ionic liquid‐based electrolyte, respectively, in comparison to a conventional carbonate‐based electrolyte. For calculating spectra, we use a recently published model by Huang and Zhang. We find that the impedance at 10 −4 Hz, which is relevant for battery cycling rates around 1 C to 2 C, increases in the order carbonate‐based electrolyte
